Coach shares incident after which Novak Djokovic’s life changed
Novak Djokovic and Marian Vajda
Marian Vajda is the primary coach for Djokovic and the pair have achieved many highs together. Although he remained at home while Goran Ivanisevic took the reigns in Australia.
Djokovic won the title in Melbourne for the ninth time in his career, despite an unpleasant injury to his stomach muscle. Wajda pointed out that it was difficult for him because he was not with Novak in Australia.
The pair have tended to share much of the traveling in the last couple of years, and Vajda had earlier said that he will be back to to help Djokovic try to conquer Rafael Nadal in Paris.
He can break more records: Marian Vajda
Vajda has had a long term partnership with Djokovic and recently recalled the time when the Serb became the world no.1 for the first time.
Djokovic surpassed Federer to achieve the historic world no.1 feat earlier this month. He beat Federer’s record of 311 weeks as world no.1.
He said: “After Novak became No.1 in 2011 Wimbledon and his life changed, I was worried that would be it as he’d reached his dream, but he is still dominating the game and is beating Federer and Nadal, which was impossible before. Staying healthy, he can break more records.”
Vajda is set to reunite with Djokovic for sure at the French Open. Meanwhile, the world no.1 will be seen next in action at Miami.
